The female NPC sat in front of them. No longer hiding the dissatisfaction on her face.

”Hello, may I ask what your name is?” Luo Yan asked in a friendly manner.

The NPC snorted. ”Stop with the senseless talk and just tell me what you needed me for.”

Luo Yan didn't know if it was just his imagination but the female NPC seemed to refuse looking in his direction. As if seeing his face would remind her of something. Was it because he's a moon elf like Finnea?

”Then I will do as you wish. We came here at the request of Finnea's husband.” Luo Yan saw her visibly flinched at the mention of Finnea. ”He wanted to know all the details that led up to her wife's death.”

”I don't know anything,” she said in an almost automatic manner. As if she was asked this question a thousand of times already and this was the only answer she could give.

”We know that you're the one who's with her with it happened. So, it's impossible that you 'don't know anything' as you say,” Luo Yan said. ”She was your friend, wasn't she? Is it really alright for you to not give her family the closure that they so badly needed?”

He almost rolled his eyes inwardly. Seriously, why did he have to say all these cheesy lines as if he was in some sort of drama? But he knew that if he couldn't say the right 'keywords' then this NPC wouldn't tell them what they needed.

He secretly glanced at Shen Ji Yun who looked like he was in deep thought. He knew he couldn't rely on this guy when it came to matters like this one. Because he'd probably just threaten the NPC and be done with it.

He put back his attention on the female NPC. She was now shaking. Luo Yan felt like he's close. He just needed to push her a bit more.

”Do you know why her husband asked us this request? Because of their son, Filli. A while back, he went to a dangerous part of the Crescent Woonlands – a forest surrounding our village. Because he wanted to train himself. He wanted to be strong. To go out of the village as soon as he could. So that he could avenge what happened to his mother.” He paused and stared at the NPC whose body shook even stronger. ”He almost died doing so. But I managed to save him.”

The female NPC bit her lower lip and hugged herself as if she could get some comfort from that.

But Luo Yan didn't give her a chance and continued, ”If he continued to be ignorant about what happened to his mother, he would continue to put himself on danger like that. Maybe next time, he wouldn't be so lucky. No one would come to his rescue and then he would really fall to his dea—”

”Stop!” shouted the NPC before he could finish what he was saying. ”Please, stop.”

”I was just telling you of a possibility. So, I hope you could cooperate with us,” Luo Yan said. ”Not for us, but for Finnea's son. Your friend's child.”

The female NPC suddenly burst out crying.

Shen Ji Yun sitting on the side didn't care about the NPC. Because in his mind right now, all he could think of was how to convince his uncle to go on a vacation with him to Chengdu.
